For difinitive proof, no there is no single stat. But, there are stats (like YPC) which can provide evidence to support an opinion rather than relying on recollection of player performance from 30 years ago as the basis of your opinion.

YPC is an indication of better performance, not of who is better.

Tons of variables go into YPC. If, for some odd reason, LF has committed to Vanderbilt, his YPC would almost certainly be lower. This does not mean that LF would be less talented has he signed with Vanderbilt.

When determining "better", that actually IS pretty much a measure of opinions, 30 years old or not.

I'm not one of these "in my day guys were better" dudes.

I love LF. I think he is right there in the argument.

I will say this though. The attachment to stats is why Walker is always brought up in front of Jackson to which I say, F that. Jackson was a freak if nature!
